Product Details:

NI cRIO-9014 is a fanless embedded real-time controller designed for the CompactRIO platform, and this real-time controller delivers reliable embedded monitoring and deterministic control for harsh industrial and test environments. It must be paired with a compatible CompactRIO reconfigurable chassis to connect C Series I/O modules for analog input, analog output, digital signal and sensor measurement. It is widely used for vibration monitoring, structural health testing, distributed process control, remote data logging, seismic signal acquisition, machine condition monitoring and portable test system deployment. Developers can program and configure the whole system by LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA, support scan interface mode and FPGA direct mode, so users can balance rapid development and high-speed hardware-timed signal processing. It supports real-time data recording, TDMS file streaming, network communication and serial device interaction, suitable for long-term unattended field measurement.

Key specifications and parameters: 400 MHz Freescale MPC5200 PowerPC real-time processor, 128 MB DRAM and 2 GB non-volatile onboard storage. It is equipped with one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, one USB 1.1 host port and one RS232 serial DB9 port. The power supply range is 9 VDC to 35 VDC, maximum power consumption 6 W, low power design supports battery or solar power supply for remote sites. The operating temperature range is -40 ℃ to 70 ℃, conformal coating option is available to resist moisture and dust. It has built-in real-time clock for timestamp synchronization, supports USB mass storage for offline data backup. The Ethernet port supports auto-negotiation, and the serial port supports baud rate up to 115200 bps with standard hardware flow control. It adopts fanless rugged construction without moving parts, which reduces failure risk in high-vibration workshops and outdoor skids.

This embedded monitoring controller is an end-of-life legacy NI hardware. We supply fully inspected and tested refurbished units for replacement and upgrade of old CompactRIO test and control systems. It works with a wide range of C Series I/O modules including thermocouple, RTD, strain, voltage and digital modules. It is commonly adopted in industries such as aerospace testing, energy equipment monitoring, transportation test, chemical safety monitoring and civil structure inspection. As a core part of compactrio acquisition system, it provides stable deterministic control and high-fidelity data processing for customized measurement projects.
